I have spread your's and Lola's story far and wide. My family and friends get a kick out of it. I have shared with them your recent loss and know that other's across the country grieve with you and wish Lola fairwinds and following seas.

May the things to pee on be great and the vacuum cleaners be few. I raise my Jack and Coke to you old girl.

Thanks for the update.......I'm right there with you........putting my lab down today.......we all know it's part of the deal when we bring a pet into our lives but that doesn't make it any easier when the time comes.....

Thanks for sharing Lola and your RR with us. You made many of us think about sidecars so we could take our "best friends' with us too. I judge people on how they treat their pets and children, you Sir are one outstanding dog dad, ADVer and story teller.

I don't comment on many of the ride reports I read...but I have to on this one. So glad you didn't wait another year...and were able to experience the ride with Lola. So heartbreaking but inspirational at the same time. I kinda want to cry but smile knowing she had this wonderful experience with such a great owner.

RP, I had not seen the sad update to this thread however you have my late sympathy and condolences. We too lost our pup suddenly this spring and know of the hole it leaves in your heart.

You and Lola and this wonderful tale have inspired us as well to get into a sidecar and just yesterday I picked up a 2007 Gear-Up. We now have a foster dog to keep us company and help us heal, he seems to like the new rig :)
